Prepared for Nigeria, and for anywhere else

ACES Secondary School in Area 2, Garki District, Abuja teaches a dual British and Nigerian curriculum through Junior and Senior Secondary, in classes capped at 15 to 20 students.

That combination is the point. A student leaves with the Nigerian qualifications that matter here, and the international ones that travel — so the decision about where to study next is made at eighteen, on merit, and not closed off at eleven by the school a family could reach.

The school is fully accredited by the West African Examinations Council and the National Examinations Council.
